experiencing tone loss from delay in the fx loop

[Ben Gregory]

Hey! How goes it?

I am running a mxr carbon copy through the fx loop in the mark v. However, when I use it I experience tone loss. The tone sounds flatter and loses some bright/treble. Do any of you guys experience tone loss when running delay in the fx loop? Also, is there a good substitute for the carbon copy that might fix the problem? Thanks!

I have the same problem with a Carbon Copy. My only recommendation is to use a delay pedal/rack unit that can handle line levels.

I got rid of my Carbon Copy before switching to the Mark V.

I now have a TC Nova Delay. It works perfectly with the Mark V, and I don't miss the CC at all. The Nova Delay, despite being digital, can do analog delay-simulations very nicely.

I feel ya screamindaisy!!

Is there tone loss with your nova eudaimonia02912?

Finally picked up an Eventide TimeFactor.

The thing has tons of headroom, so zero distortion in the delays. It has a true bypass mode and I can't hear a difference in my dry tone between it being on and in bypass.

Sucks that is 250 bones.

Well, if you can afford $2100 for an amp...

Nova Repeater. Less bones, fewer bells and whistles, same sound quality. Can run on 9 - 12 volts.

Well, I got the amp with my tax returns. Just had to spend 800 bucks on the wifes car. I guess if I sold my Carbon Copy I could throw in the extra, but I cant do it right now. Too many other things going on.

My TimeFactor is awesome in the loop...no loss of tone. After investing in a MKV I wouldn't settle for anything less!
